While his name had long been associated with Real Madrid, Erling Haaland could finally commit to Barça.
And if Erling Haaland, who has long been announced as a possible recruit for Real Madrid, would finally commit to the sworn enemy of Barcelona. What was unimaginable some time ago is now a real possibility.
According to the Spanish media Jijantes, discussions have started between the Catalan club and the representatives of the Norwegian striker. Deco, the Blaugrana sporting director, would have personally met Rafaela Pimenta and Maxwell.
Barça failing Real for Haaland
A transfer from Haaland to Barça would make sense as he has always dreamed of playing in La Liga. Knowing that the doors of Real Madrid are closed to him given that Kylian Mbappé has left to join the Spanish capital, there is nothing illogical in the Nordic giant falling back on the other Iberian giant.
It remains to be seen what Manchester City thinks of this potential move.

There is therefore no need to part with your best asset. To be continued.
